Blackout is the fifth studio album by Britney Spears. It is one of her most successful studio albums. It has more r&b and urban sound with the collobration of Danja.
I think Blackout is the darkest and most depressive album of Britney Spears. I can feel the effects of …

Metallica Finally a wise decision to release the album, which may be therapeutic disappointment after the album St. Anger in 2003. Albums that can be included in the category of very bad and makes fans ask about what happened with that metal music icon. Although this album can not …

The back street boys are not a bad band and they are actually quite good and I like the fact that each band member had a different look than one another which was cool because this made them quite diverse. I also liked how every member of the band …

Another album to go from this incredible band ever called “Folie a Deux”. It’s actually had been planned for releasing in November 4th, but according to this band, they didn’t want to call this album as a part of one side campaign remembering the general election of that day. …

Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Sweet Dreams”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce
Label: Columbia
Director: Adria Petty
Beyonce ditches the black and white cinematography formula for color once again ( as she did for “Halo”). I’m not sure if a dream with Beyonce would be a nightmare or a sweet dream, it depends - If it …

Obviously, I’m a huge Celine Dion fan, otherwise, I wouldn’t own this album, which effectively chronicles the artists hit songs for an entire decade. But more than that, I just love to listen to all the songs in this album, since Dion always sings in a heartfelt manner.
She …

David Allan Coe sings the song If That Ain’t Country. It’s an odd song at best that remind me of how people believe in stereo types. David Allen Coe has always been a good singer but I was shocked the first time I saw a video with him in …

Blood On The World’s Hands is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record The X Factor. The track starts off with a keyboard part which establishes somewhat of an eerie mood to the track and makes me hopeful that the song will build. I’m not exactly …

First time I hear ‘Walking On a Dream’ from Empire of The Sun, I really want to listen to this song more and more. First, I don’t know who sing this good song, until i search on Google with some part of lyrics as a keyword and finally I …

This album continues where the last one left off. The Coral continue their slightly tinny sounding, modern pastiche of sixties music, which works a treat. I loved it from the first song ‘In the Forest’, right through to the last, every songs a winner. Slightly darker …

I have to be honest. I was not a big fan of Katy Perry’s newest music video for E.T. featuring Kanye West. My problem with this music video is that it falls into the trap that a lot of music videos fall into these days. It is way too …

I discovered Melanie Martinez one week ago, when a music site recommended her music to me, and in my astonishing surprise, I was immediately immersed into her child-influenced sound.
Dollhouse is the first song she released off her debut album entitled “Crybaby”.
The song is basically about a faulty family hidden …

Interstellar Overdrive is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. If you can’t tell by just the title of the track, I’ll mention that this song has a very space-like sound and it’s also sound quite psychedelic as …

I have never been a true prodigy fan having only really listened too their classic songs. However, once I got my hands on Invaders Must Die I feel in love with it. Most of my friends before all listened to their previous albums and they had said that this …

Overview —“ Hero Of The Day, the second music video released by Metallica for the album Load, continues in the sort of strange symbolism that the band first introduced with Until It Sleeps. I don’t mean to come off as sounding as if symbolism is bad in music videos, …

If your looking for a good live music CD, one that I recommend would definetely be the Slash Live in Manchester album. Ever since Slash has released his new solo album he’s been doing awesome musically with his fellow Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy who sang on the …

Day of Baphomets is a song by the Mars Volta. It appears as the 7th track off of their 2006 album “Amputechture”. The Mars Volta are noted to be a very avant-garde and experimental band. With their odd time signatures, offbeat syncopation’s and intellectual lyrics make each song an …

Believe it or not, this was the first song I had ever heard from the band named Gorillaz and was instantly hooked it and them! I had first heard this song on a local radio station and was pretty shocked when I learned Gorillaz was a “cartoon band”
Feel Good …

Frogs is a song by The Flaming Lips and the penultimate track on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with a confusing and dissonant sound, the bass and drums enter the mix to give the song a somewhat more solid foundation. Though I’m surprised …

The CD Evan and Jaron (this is the name of the group and the name of the album) was my first rock CD, although it is really just pop with a rock feel. Like pop, the music seems over-synthesized, with too many extra or computer-generated instruments. It …

Overview - American Beauty, the fifth album by The Grateful Dead, continues in the same style of they started with on Workingman’s Dead by writing from more of a folk rock and country style rather than the electric and psychedelic driven songs from their first three albums. I’ll say …

2000 Light Years Away is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. One thing I’ll note that I like right away about this song is that the bass is extremely prominent in the mix and you can also definitely hear this sense of energy coming …

This cd is a continuation of Justin Biebers other album, My World. Both cds are extremely good and what i love the most is they have the same feel, but not one song sounds the same on either album. They are all so unique. This album there is not …

ALIVE II
Haven’t we been down this road before? KISS releases a second LIVE album and it seems more mixed than ‘live’ like the first ALIVE Album (which ironically was also mixed quite heavily in the studio)
Considering that the songs presented here are not present on ALIVE I you can’t …

Oneness by David & Steve Gordon is simply incredible. I think it is just about my favorite relaxing and calming audio CD that I have as part of my collection. The wind chimes, temple bells, traveling streams, flutes and more are just some of the instruments and sounds employed …

Donny Osmond: This is the Moment CD has some jazzy elements to it. I’ve always loved Donny and I’ve seen him perform many times. It’s always a pleasure.
The title song from the CD is also a favorite song of mine. His version is much softer than …

Lee Ryan… A singer? According to me yes, but not only: The right word is an “Artist”!
The ex Blue singer came out this year 2006 with his new first personal album: “Lee Ryan“.

Personally there’re not so cool songs, …

I Just Had To Die is a song by The Knife which appears on their self-titled record. The song opens up with a rhythm which is sort of interesting at first, but draws slightly annoying after a few repetitions in my opinion. In my opinion, the vocals could’ve been …

Take This Job And Shove It by David Allan Coe is my kind of song. About three years ago I worked in a large factory and made fifteen dollars an hour as an inventory specialist. I was not very happy with my job though. I was tired of the …

“Caterpillar March” is the seventh song off of the stellar Kyuss album “Blues for the Red Sun” It is a rather short but powerful song, at only one minute and fifty six seconds in length. Despite being such a short song, “Caterpillar March” musters up more talent that can …

In my personal opinion, this is the most socially relevant usage of the stage musical in the history of the genre. It is a powerful love letter to Generation X that does not sugar coat the hardships faced by the LGBT community in the nineties, as well as …

I was scared off by Slipknot for a long time, I think because they’re one of those bands that wear masks. Even though I like hard rock, for some reason, masks will make me not want to listen to a band every time. But I’m glad I …

I saw Biffy Clyro at Sheffield 02 Academy on Friday 30th April. They have grown significantly in popularity since I first saw them play. In fact, in the UK, you can hardly switch on the radio for 5 minutes at the moment without hearing a Biffy song.
Since …

I am not usually a fan of bands which ’scream’ in a sense, but Cradle of Filth shined a new light on the subject of ‘Black Metal’ for me and actually are responsible for bringing me in depth and in detail as a fan of the Black Metal Genre. …
